I knew him ( not well, but I did know him! ) and worked on his winning presidential campaigns. I followed his career from the time I was little and always liked him, until the end, when I yelled at the T.V. :”YOU SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE TAPES, YOU SHOULD HAVE DESTROYED THOSE DAMNED TAPES!”; but got over it and still like him.
I lived during the Nixon years. I never met him but I still say he was one of our BEST Presidents. I too was screaming he should have got rid of the tapes. A great man who loved our country.
